Project Pitch
For this assignment you will choose your project topic and pitch the idea to the class.
The final project can either be a BrickMMO project or a Useless Website.
BrickMMO Project
In a group of one to three students you can work on one of the proposed projects or propose your own idea. Current proposed ideas include:
- VideoKit (HTML/CSS)
- Advanced MILS (HTML/CSS)
- Watts Wrong (HTML/CSS)
- Glyphs (HTML/CSS)
- Assets (HTML/CSS)
Useless Website
Or you can create a Useless Website as an individual. Try to come up with an idea that is quirky but somewhat related to the Web Development industry.
Here are a few Ideas I would like to see built:
- What is my IP/Location tool (https://whatismyipaddress.com/)
- What is my resolution/device/browser tool (https://screenresolutiontest.com/)
- A WHOIS tools (https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup)
- Favicon Generator (https://favicon.io/)
- Sample File Website (a website with every testing file you could need)
If done correctly this can make a great portfolio piece. I would recommend aiming for something like one of the following Useless Websites:
From time to time I will deconstruct a website, here is a deconstruction of Koalas to the Max:
